1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

objectiveTo describe the risk factors associated with complications of perineal urethrostomy (PU).

designRetrospective, multi-institutional study performed between January 2009 and December 2019.

settingFour university teaching hospitals. ANIMALS: One hundred forty feline patients undergoing surgery for PU. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN

resultsData collected included signalment, history, clinical signs, duration of indwelling urinary catheter, reason for the PU, initial PCV and total protein concentration, initial creatinine and BUN, surgery time, anesthesia time, whether a urinary catheter was placed postoperatively, perioperative complications, postoperative complications, the duration it took for complications to develop, and the requirement for surgical revision of the PU site. Postoperative complications up to 90 days were evaluated. The association between risk factors and the development of complications was statistically evaluated. Fifty-three of 140 cats (37.8%) experienced a complication perioperatively, immediately postoperative, or within 90 days of discharge. The most common complications included hypotension (15 cats), urinary tract infection (11 cats), and urethral stricture (five cats). Two cats were euthanized, and one cat died during hospitalization. No risk factors were identified that were statistically related to the development of complications or survival to hospital discharge.

conclusionsCats undergoing PU most commonly developed minor complications, and no risk factors were identified that led to the development of those complications.
